We're looking for someone who is caring, dependable, patient, and enjoys being around children ages 3-5. You don't need to have everything figured out - just a willingness to learn, be part of a team, and show up each day ready to make a positive difference.

• Helping children learn through play and structured activities
• Encouraging positive behavior and social skills
• Preparing classroom materials and keeping things organized
• Supporting children throughout the day to help them feel safe and successful
• Assisting with classroom coverage and daily routines when needed

Every day looks a little different - and that's part of what makes working in Preschool so rewarding.
